Bobby Berk's DTLA Loft
After 15 years of living in New York City, the Queer Eye star and his husband, Dewey Do, a maxillofacial surgeon, put down new roots in an airy loft in Downtown L.A. The open space—located in a 114-year-old former train station—”is huge to us,” Berk told PEOPLE in July. And although he's reimagined plenty of spaces using bold color as the resident designer on the Netflix show, he took a different approach for his own. He said, "I like it to be very muted, more on the dark side with masculine tones."

She may be an international fashion designer, but when it came to designing her New York penthouse, the socialite let her husband, the aristocratic banker James Rothschild, take the reigns. "James did the vast majority,” Hilton, 34, told AD of the sophisticated decor. “But I added my little feminine touches, my little accessories.”

Wiz Khalifa's L.A. Rental
The rapper's $16,000-per-month L.A. rental home pays homage to both his 5-year-old son Sebastian, and his love of marijuana. In his "game room aka the gang room," Khalifa houses his award collection and his cannabis-centric bar. Elsewhere in the home, the "Black and Yellow" hit-maker showcases a gallery-style “weed wall” featuring “everybody who smokes pot,” from Snoop Dogg to Willie Nelson.
"We’re big smokers over here, so there’s a lot of smoking stuff," he told archdigest.com. "I have a hundred joint roller. It rolls a hundred joints at one time. [It would] probably take like 3 days to smoke a hundred joints.”

Sunny Hostin
When The View co-host first laid eyes on her 10-bedroom, 10-bathroom estate in Purchase, N.Y., it was a fixer-upper.
“When I got here, it had no running water, no electricity—there was a bat flying around in the hall," she tells PEOPLE. After six months of renovations, the award-winning journalist showed off her palatial home with a new kitchen but the original hardwoods, staircase, and stained-glass windows.
Though she admitted “it’s been a real labor of love,” Hostin has no regrets. “It’s so nice to live in an older home, because it has real history, and it’s really nice to carry that on,” she said.
